This article discusses the potential impact of the new real estate notice requirements for recipients of Medicaid. These new notice requirements were part of Wisconsin’s 2013-2014 Budget Bill that was signed into law on June 30, 2013. This Budget Bill incorporates changes to the Medicaid program, including changes to the rules governing estate recovery, which expand the state’s ability to recover Medicaid costs from the estate of a deceased recipient of Medicaid. The new real estate notice requirements are part of these changes to the estate recovery rules. As pointed out in this article, these new rules could have severe effects on recipients of Medicaid and those recipients’ families.

If you or a close family member is a Medicaid recipient, you may want to consult an elder law attorney on what effects these new rules may have on you and what planning options may be available to avoid those effects.
